I take your stuff. I make you discard your stuff. I give you stuff you don't want. I make you fight amongst yourselves. I might mess with some of your lands, I don't know. Then I just generate infinite mana with Basalt Monolith + Rings of Brighthearth and kill you all one at a time with Xantcha's ability.

There are definitely a few place holder cards in the current build. I'd like to slot in Blood Moon, Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre at some point in the future, but I'm attempting to keep this under $200 for the initial build. I'm also toying with the idea of a "NO FCKING INSTANTS" sub-theme, with Citadel of Pain, War's Toll, and Price of Glory, but would love some more suggestions for this strategy. I want to keep people from doing things during other turns as much as possible. I usually like to have some blue in my decks so that I can have a handful of counters available, so I thought it would be fun to do a complete 180 from that play style. Any help would be much appreciated. Let me know what you think!
